A guitar doesn't have to cost a bundle to sound good. The GIO series was
developed for players who want Ibanez quality in a more affordable
package. Not only do they look and play better than everything else in
their price range, but their rigorous inspection, set-up and warranty is
the same as Ibanez's more expensive models. This five-string model features a mahogany body with GSR5 Maple neck. 22 medium frets and rosewood fretboard with white dot inlay make this bass as playable as it is attractive, and Dynamix H passive pickups at the neck and bridge deliver thunderous lows and crystal clear bass tone.
